According to Liber Pontificalis, the Church of S. Adriano al Foro was founded by Pope Honorius I about 630 in the ancient Curia Hostilia. The church is mentioned ca. 650. It was designated by Pope Sergius as the starting point for the litanies during certain religious celebrations. It was erected as a deaconry in the VIII Region of Rome by Pope Saint Gregory III about 734 and confirmed by Pope Adrian I around 775. It was situated in the VIII Roman Region (Augustea). Because of the destruction of the ancient church for the restoration of the "curia del Senato", the deaconry was suppressed by the apostolic constitution Sanct Hadriani Ecclesia, January 25, 1946, of Pope Pius XII (1939-1958) and transferred to the church of S. Paolo alla Regola.

Its church is of ancient origin. It was an Arian church during the Gothic occupation in the 6th Century. The building was embellished by the Goths and became known as S. Agata de' Goti. The church was reconsecrated in 593 by Pope Saint Gregory I the Great (590-604). The deaconry was established by Pope Leo III (795-816) as S. Agatha in Diaconia (or del Caval di Marmo, or in Equo Marmoreo, because of its proximity to an equestrian statue of Julius Caesar). The church was located in the southern side of the alta Semita, current site of the public garden of the Qurinale. It was in the VI Roman Region (Augustea). When the church became a ruin in the first half of the 16th Century, the deaconry was transferred to S. Agata alla Suburra (or Suburbia). During the pontificate of Pope Pius XI (1922-1939), the title became S. Agata de' Goti.

This deaconry was established in 1998 by Pope John Paul II. On July 6, 1517 Pope Leo X (1513-1521) had established the title of S. Agnese in Agone when he greatly increased the number of cardinals in the consistory of July 1, 1517. It had been suppressed by Pope Innocent XI (1644-1655) on October 5, 1654 and transferred to S. Agnese fuori le mura. The church is located at Via di Santa Maria dell'Anima, 30/A, Rome.

This deaconry was established on June 1, 755 by Pope Stephen II (III) (752-757) with the name of S. Paolo Apostolo, according to an inscription by primicerius Teodoto, uncle of Pope Adrian I (772-795). It was located in the IX Roman Region (Augustea). In 806, the name was changed to S. Archangeli, and later to S. Angeli piscium venalium, de piscivendulis, in Foro piscium. This church was assigned both as a title and as a deaconry.

(1) According to Cristofori, Cardinal Stefano de Ceccano, O.Cist., occupied this deaconry in December 1213.(2) According to Cristofori, Pedro Serra, pseudocardinal of Antipope Benedict XIII, occupied this deaconry from 1397 to 1404.(3) According to Cristofori, Pierre de Foix, seniore, O.F.M., pseudocardinal of Antipope John XXIII, occupied this deaconry from 1408 to 1409.(4) The deaconry was assigned to Cardinal Viviano Orfini but he died before the celebration of the consistory of May 16, 1823, when he was to receive it.

This deaconry was established on May 26, 1929 by the apostolic constitution Recenti conventione of Pope Pius XI (1922-1939) when, according to Article 15 of the Concordat between the Holy See and Italy, the deaconry of S. Maria ad Martyres was suppressed. It had existed as a title from 1517 to 1587.

This deaconry was established by Pope John XXIII on December 2, 1959, by the apostolic constitution Quos nationum. A title named S. Biagio dell'Anello had been established by Pope Sixtus V (1585-1590) on April 13, 1587, by the apostolic constitution Religiosa. It was suppressed on October 17, 1616 by Pope Paul V (1605-1621) and transferred to the new church of S. Carlo ai Catinari. This new title was suppressed eleven years later, on October 6, 1627, by Pope Urban VIII (1623-1644) and transferred to the church of S. Carlo al Corso, also known as Ss. Ambrogio e Carlo al Corso. On June 7, 1967, Pope Paul VI established the title of Ss. Ambrogio e Carlo.

According to Liber Pontificalis, this deaconry received donations from Pope Leo III (795-816). At the end of the 10th Century, it was known as S. Alessio. Its church was built toward the end of the 6th Century or the beginning of the 7th. It was situated in the XIII Roman Region (Augustea). It was suppressed before the beginning of the 12th Century and, together with the deaconry of Ss. Nereo ed Achilleo, which had become a title, replaced by the deaconries of S. Nicola in Carcere and S. Maria in Portico. Pope Sixtus V (1585-1590) established the title of S. Alessio on April 13, 1587, by the apostolic constitution Religiosa. It is currently known as Ss. Bonifacio ed Alessio.

This deaconry was established as a title on July 6, 1517 by Pope Leo X (1513-1521) just after he greatly expanded the membership of the Sacred College of Cardinals in the consistory of July 1, 1517. Pope Sixtus V (1585-1590) suppressed it in 1587 and Pope Clement VIII (1592-1605) reestablished it as a deaconry in 1600.

This church replaced the old pagan edifices Archivim Templum Sacræ Urbis and Constantini (Romuli), and was in the IV region of Rome. It was founded by Pope Felix IV in 527. Pope Gregory I designated it in 600 as a diaconal church. It was restored under Pope Sergius I in 700, according to Liber Pontificalis. Pope Adrian I definitively established it as a diaconate in 780, but no cardinal is known as its occupant until 1073. It is still in existence today. The church is situated at Via dei Fori Imperiali, 1, Rome.

(1) Annuaire Pontifical Catholique indicates that Cristofori lists a Cardinal Gionata (or Jonathan), seniore, as occupant of this deaconry from 1008 to 1006? (sic) but his dates are certainly wrong since many authors such as Chacón, Moroni, Mas-Latrie, etc., place this cardinal at the end of the XI Century, ca. 1099, close enough, consequently, to Gionata, iuniore (1120) to justify his nickname.(2) Annuaire Pontifical Catholique indicates that Cristofori erroneously lists his dates as 1145 to 1146 and a Cardinal Rolando, O.S.B., as occupant of this deaconry from 1150 to 1154, which is also mistaken.(3) Cristofori lists Cardinal Bonifacio as occupant of this title in 1159 but his existence has not been ascertained. (4) He may be the same as Gandolfo, O.S.B. (1186).(5) This is the sequence of occupants according to Cristofori, Cardinals Leonardo Cibo (1402-1404); Jean Gilles (1405-1407); Pierre de Foix, le vieux, O.F.M. (1408-1417); Francesco Zabarella (1411-1417); Ardicino della Porta (1426-1434); Alain de Coëtivy, in commendam (1455-1474); Pedro de Ferris, in commendam (1476-1477); Pierre de Foix, le jeune, (1477-1490); Alessandro Farnese (1493-1503), in commendam (1503-1513).

This deaconry was erected by Pope Saint Gregory I ca. 600 in the ancient Terme Neroniane-Alessandrine, in the IX Region of Rome. According to Liber Pontificalis, Pope Gregory II (715-731) donated funds from the patrimony Labicano and Tiburtino to this deaconry.

(1) According to Annuaire Pontifical Catholique, Cristofori erroneously called him Ugo Pierleoni confusing him with the cardinal bishop of Piacenza (n. 6) created in 1164.(2) Cristofori lists him as occupant of this deaconry between 1206 and 1221 and then Aldebrandino between 1221 and 1223.(3) Cristofori lists him among the deacons of S. Adriano in 1231and lists Guido as occupant of this deaconry from 1237 to 1240.(4) Hierarchia Catholica indicates that, at that time, the deaconry was occupied by Cardinal Robert Somercote.(5) Cristofori lists Vitale? and Domenico? as occupants of this deaconry in 1253?(6) Cristofori lists Cardinal Bernard Jarre (or Garve) as occupant of this deaconry from 1314 to 1316.
